What Causes Dark Pea-sized Raised Growth On The Calf?
Two days ago I noticed a dark pea-sized raised round growth of some sort on my calf. It had a whitish crust on top of it. When I took a bath the crusty top disappeared and it now looks black with a background of brown skin around most of it. At first I thought it was a keratosis that turned into a large dark mole, but i moved it with my thumb and finger very slightly and it bled a little. So I have covered it with a band-aid so I can go to bed now. Should I call my doctor in the morning or wait to see if it is a blister and heals itself?

HI
I really appreciate your concern, chances of fungal infection may be likely and this can be treated on tentative basis with "Miconazole cream" if this does not heal then it need to be clinically examined, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
